==Definition==<br />
<br />
'''Apokatastasis''' (from Greek: ἀποκατάστασις; literally, "restoration" or "return") is the teaching that everyone will, in the end, be saved. It looks toward the ultimate reconciliation of good and evil; all creatures endowed with reason, [[angel]]s and humans, will eventually come to a harmony in God's kingdom. It is based on, among other things, St. Peter's speech in Acts 3.21 ("[[Jesus Christ|Christ Jesus]] who must remain in heaven until the time of the final restoration of all things χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων") and St. Paul's letter to Timothy in which he says that it is God's will that all men should be saved (1 Timothy 2.4). <br />
<br />
For [[Origen]], this explicitly included the [[devil]]. In effect, apocatastasis denies the final reality of [[hell]], and interprets all Biblical references to the "fires of hell" not as an eternal punishment, but a tool of divine teaching and correction, akin to [[purgatory]]. The implication is that hell exists to separate good from evil in the soul.<br />
<br />
Among Catholics in the twentieth-century, this doctrine was reinvigorated especially by Hans Urs von Balthasar, who, in his book ''Dare We Hope 'That All Men Be Saved?'' (1988), expressed a qualified version of apocatastasis in which we may "hope" that all will be saved. Keeping in mind the conciliar condemnation of Origen, Orthodox theologians who tend towards universalism (the belief that all will be saved) usually argue that all may be saved.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Origen===<br />
St. [[Augustine of Hippo|Augustine]] wrote the following about Origen:<br />
<br />
:"I am aware that I now have to engage in a debate, devoid of rancor, those compassionate Christians who refuse to believe that the punishment of hell will be everlasting either in the case of all those men whom the completely just Judge accounts deserving of that chastisement, or at least in the case of some of them; they hold that they are to be set free after fixed limits of time have been passed, the periods being longer or shorter in proportion to the magnitude offences. On this subject the most compassionate of all was ''Origen'' who believed that the Devil himself and his angels will be rescued from their torments and brought into the company of the holy angels, after the more severe and more lasting chastisements appropriate to their deserts. But the Church has rejected Origen's teaching, and not without good reason, on account of this opinion and a number of others...<br />
<br />
:"Very different, however, is the error, promoted by tenderness of heart and human compassion, of those who suppose that the miseries of those condemned by that judgement will be temporal, whereas the felicity of all men, who are released after a shorter or longer period, will be everlasting. Now if this opinion is good and true, just because it is compassionate, then it will be the better and the truer the more compassionate it is. Then let the fountain of compassion be deepened and enlarged until it extends as far as the evil angels, who must be set free, although, of course, after many ages, and ages of any length that can be imagined! ...For all that, his error would manifestly surpass all errors in its perversity, its wrong-headed contradiction of the express words of God, by the same margin as, in his own estimation, his belief surpasses all other opinions in its clemency."<br />
<br />
: — St. Augustine of Hippo, ''City of God'' 21.17 (trans. Bettenson)<br />
<br />
===[[Clement of Alexandria]]===<br />
===Gregory of Nyssa===<br />
St. [[Gregory of Nyssa]] accepted the idea of apocatastasis from Origen. However, this part of St. Gregory's writings has been unequivocally rejected by the subsequent [[Church Fathers]]: <br />
<br />
* St. Varsanofios the Great, criticizing the doctrine of apocatastasis, when asked about St. Gregory's opinion, has answered: "do not think that people, though also [[saint]]s, could completely understand all depths of God... Even if a saint speaks about such opinions, you will not find that he confirmed the words as though had the statement from above, but that they resulted from the doctrine of his former teachers, and he, trusting their knowledge of them, did not inquire of God whether it was true."{{citation}} <br />
<br />
* St. Herman of Constantinople has also expressed a negative opinion of the doctrine, but he supposes that the works of St. Gregory have been damaged by Origenists: "those who liked that absurd idea, as if for demons and for people who will be subjected to eternal punishment, is possible to expect the discontinuance... they have taken his clean and sensible works and have added the dark and disastrous poison of Origen's nonsense."{{citation}}<br />
<br />
* St. [[Mark of Ephesus]], after citing St. Gregory, exclaims: "Are we wrong when we do not believe those words of St. Gregory of Nyssa, considering them forgeries, or, even if they are original, to not accept as contradictory to Scripture and to the general [[dogma]]?"{{citation}}<br />
<br />
* St. [[Maximus the Confessor]], rejecting an Origenistic interpretation of apocatastasis, considered that St. Gregory used this term "in sense of restoration of cognitive forces of the man in that condition of the correct relation to truth."{{citation}}<br />
<br />
* St. [[Photius the Great]] has expressed the Church's general interpretation in one phrase: "that in works of St. Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, where restoration is mentioned, it is not accepted by the Church."{{citation}}<br />
<br />
===[[Evagrius Ponticus]]===<br />
<br />
===[[Isaac of Syria]]===<br />
<br />
===The Church reaction to Origenism===<br />
The anathemas of the local Council of Constantinople in 453, which is understood by most commentators to be confirmed by the [[Fifth Ecumenical Council]] in 553, posthumously [[excommunication|excommunicated]] Origen and anyone following specific points of his teachings. These anathemas condemned his protology of pre-existent souls and his eschatology of universal restoration of all things "which follows from" his protology{{ref|1}}: <br />
*''If anyone asserts the fabulous pre-existence of souls, and shall assert the monstrous restoration which follows from it: let him be [[anathema]].'' (First anathema against Origen) <br />
*''If anyone shall say that all reasonable beings will one day be united in one, when the hypostases as well as the numbers and the bodies shall have disappeared, and that the knowledge of the world to come will carry with it the ruin of the worlds, and the rejection of bodies as also the abolition of [all] names, and that there shall be finally an identity of the γνῶσις and of the hypostasis; moreover, that in this pretended apocatastasis, spirits only will continue to exist, as it was in the feigned pre-existence: let him be anathema.'' (Fourteenth anathema against Origen){{ref|2}}<br />
The decisions of [[ecumenical council]]s have universal authority in the Orthodox Church. Only doctrinal definitions have the force of dogma. Local councils only have authority within specific geographic limits.<br />
<br />
==Modern Advocates==<br />
Known proponents of either a qualified or unqualified doctrine of apocatastasis within the Orthodox Church include:<br />
*[[Nikolai Berdyaev]]<br />
*Archpriest [[Sergius Bulgakov]]<br />
*[[Paul Evdokimov]]<br />
*St [[Sophrony (Sakharov)]] <br />
*Archimandrite [[Lazarus (Moore)]]<br />
*Metropolitan [[Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia]]<br />
*[[David Bentley Hart]]<br />
<br />
Some prominent twentieth century non-Orthodox theologians who advocated this include:<br />
*[http://www.ratzingerfanclub.com/Balthasar/ Hans Urs von Balthasar]<br />
*[http://www.firstthings.com Richard John Neuhaus] - Fr. Neuhaus follows von Balthasar's position which ''rejects'' any explicit doctrine that damnation is not a possibility. For his explanation, see [http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0108/public.html FT0108].<br />
*[http://www.cimmay.com/pdf/farrar.pdf F. W. Farrar]<br />
*[[C. S. Lewis]] - at least, this claim is asserted in a dissertation entitled [http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-05292002-153921/unrestricted/etd.pdf "All Will Be Well"]<br />

<div>[[Image:Raphael_of_Brooklyn.jpg|right|thumb|250px|St. Raphael of Brooklyn]]<br />
Our father among the saints '''Raphael of Brooklyn''' ([[November 20]], 1860 - [[February 27]], 1915) was born Rafla Hawaweeny in Beirut, Lebanon, to Damascene Syrian refugee parents. He was educated at the Patriarchal School in Damascus, the [[Theological School of Halki|School of Orthodox Theology in Halki Island]], Turkey, and at the Theological [[Academy]] in Kiev, Russia. In 1904 he became the first Orthodox [[bishop]] to be consecrated in North America; the consecration was done by Archbishop St. [[Tikhon of Moscow]] and Bishop Innocent in New York City. He served as [[bishop]] of Brooklyn, New York until his death.<br />
<br />
During the course of his ministry as an auxiliary bishop of the [[Russian Orthodox Church]] in America, St. Raphael founded the present-day primatial cathedral of the [[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America]] (St. Nicholas Cathedral), established thirty parishes, and assisted in the founding of [[St. Tikhon's Orthodox Monastery (South Canaan, Pennsylvania)|St. Tikhon's Orthodox Monastery]] in South Canaan, Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
==Glorification==<br />
[[Image:Raphael of Brooklyn grave.jpg|right|thumb|150px|The tomb of St. Raphael at [[Antiochian Village]], Ligonier, Pennsylvania]]<br />
Bishop Raphael was [[glorification|glorified]] (numbered among the saints) by the [[Holy Synod]] of the [[Orthodox Church in America]] in its March 2000 session, and the glorification services by that Holy Synod took place in May of that year at [[St. Tikhon's Orthodox Monastery (South Canaan, Pennsylvania)|St. Tikhon's Monastery]] with the participation of bishops representing the [[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America]], the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]], and the [[Church of Poland]]. He is commemorated by the [[Orthodox Church in America]] on [[February 27]], the anniversary of his death, and by the [[Church of Antioch]] on the first Saturday of November, which is shortly before Raphael's own patronal feast (the [[Feast of the Archangels]], [[November 8]]).<br />

<div>[[Image:Holy Transfiguration Brookline.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Brookline, Massachusetts]]<br />
<br />
The '''Holy Orthodox Church in North America''' (or "HOCNA"; also known as "the Panteleimonites") is an [[Old Calendarists|Old Calendarist]] jurisdiction, headquartered at [[Holy Transfiguration Monastery (Brookline, Massachusetts)]], initially formed by former members of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]] who joined the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]] in the 1960's in protest of the excessive ecumenical activities of Patriarch [[Athenagoras I (Spyrou) of Constantinople]] and Archbishop [[Iakovos (Coucouzis) of America]]. Following the suspension of the [now reposed] abbot and founder of Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Archimandrite Panteleimon (Metropoulos), by the ROCOR in December, 1986, for multiple accusations of sexual immorality, the monastery and its supporting communities left the ROCOR and following a brief period under two independent Old Calendarist bishops in Greece, were received by the Old Calendarist Synod of Archbishop Auxentios of Athens. HOCNA is not in communion with any mainstream Orthodox church.<br />
<br />
==HOCNA today==<br />
The ''Holy Orthodox Church in North America'' is an Eparchial Synod with parishes and monastic communities in the United States, as well as Europe and Central America. Today HOCNA consists of five monastic communities and 13 parishes. Their monastic communities are well known world wide for their incense, hand painted icons and mounted icon photographs, pure beeswax candles, vestments and clerical clothing. Also, since the founding of Holy Transfiguration Monastery, the brotherhood has dedicated themselves to producing translations of texts necessary for Orthodox Church life. Many books of the lives of the Saints and concerning matters of the Faith have been published. Especially, out of desire to benefit the Church, liturgical books of primary importance have been translated into English and published by Holy Transfiguration Monastery: ''A Prayerbook for Orthodox Christians'', ''The [[Pentecostarion]]'', ''The Great [[Horologion]]'', the complete 12-volume set of The [[Menaion]] and ''The [[Psalter]] According to the Seventy''. Some patristic works have also been translated and published, most notably ''The [[Ladder of Divine Ascent]]'', ''The Ascetical Homilies of Saint [[Isaac the Syrian]]'', and ''The [[Synodicon of Orthodoxy]]''. HOCNA has published ''The Struggle Against Ecumenism'', the most extensive history of the "True Orthodox Church" available in English[http://www.homb.org/Sword.htm] and also has published a series of [http://homb.org/PUBs07-23-05.pdf tracts] on the spiritual life, contemporary Church issues, and moral issues.<br />
<br />
===Hierarchs, Metropolises and Parishes===<br />
Today, HOCNA consists of Holy Transfiguration Monastery and an estimated 13 parishes throughout the United States, the most famous of which is St Nektarios American Orthodox Cathedral in Seattle, Washington[http://www.stnectariospress.com/]. Administratively, HOCNA is divided into 3 metropolises - Boston, Seattle, and Toronto. HOCNA currently has four hierarchs. With the exception of Gregory, all were monks at Holy Transfiguration Monastery for ten years or more.<br />
<br />
* Gregory, Metropolitan of Boston, President of the Holy Synod<br />
* Makarios, Metropolitan of Toronto<br />
* Ignatius, Metropolitan of Seattle<br />
* Andrew, auxiliary Bishop of Markham<br />
* Chrysostomos, auxiliary Bishop of Lanham<br />
* Ephraim, retired Metropolitan of Boston<br />
<br />
In 2011, after several years of controversy over the autonomous canonical status of HOCNA and the relatively recent controversy regarding the posthumous salvation of non-Orthodox taught by Metropolitan Ephraim and Archimandrite Panteleimon, the entire Metropolis of Portland (along with its bishops, Metropolitan Moses and his suffragan Bishop Sergius) and all the parishes of the Metropolis of Toronto were received by the [[Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America]]. Other clergy, including the dean of clergy of the Metropolis of Boston and rector of Holy Nativity Convent, also joined the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America along with the above clergy and bishops.<ref>Fr. Panagiotes Carras. ''[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OrthodoxInfo/message/862 An Announcement].'' YAHOO! Groups - OrthodoxInfo. Fri Jun 3, 2011 2:35am.</ref><br />
<br />
In 2012, after continuing disputes involving accusations of heresy against Metropolitan Ephraim and Archimandrite Panteleimon, and further revelations regarding the sexual abuse allegations against Archimandrite Panteleimon, a majority of parishes, Bishop Demetrios of Carlisle, and 17 monks of Holy Transfiguration Monastery leave HOCNA for the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America under Metropolitan Pavlos. ''[http://nftu.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Chronology-Of-Name-worshipping-In-HOCNA.pdf]]"<br />
<br />
On March 21, 2013, it was [https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzJKrDVZPwcvMWgxQ0MweHN2dTg/edit?pli=1 announced] that what remained of the Holy Orthodox Church in North America had entered into communion with the True Orthodox Church of Greece (Synod of Archbishop Makarios of Athens) as a "Sister Church".<br />

Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America
2016-03-19T21:27:37Z
<p>Diakrisis: /* Current hierarchs */</p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America''' (now know as the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of America) is the largest and oldest [[Old Calendarist]] church in North America, and is a member of the [[Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece]], under the presidency of Archbishop Kallinikos of Athens.<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
The American Metropolis of the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America is a semi-autonomous [[eparchy]] of the [[Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece]] (GOC). It is also known as the Hellenic Orthodox Traditionalist Church of America, or simply as the Greek Old Calendarist Church.<br />
<br />
Prior to the establishment of this diocese, there were still several independent Greek parishes in North America that had not been regularized by [[Athenagoras I (Spyrou) of Constantinople|Archbishop Athenagoras]], who had been going from parish to parish for several years, bringing independents into the fold of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America|Greek Archdiocese]]. These independent parishes sometimes looked to Greece for [[priest]]s, and sometimes turned to [[episcopi vagantes|vagante bishops]] such as [[Christopher (Contogeorge) of Pentapolis|Christopher Contogeorge]]. The situation in general in the 1930's and 40's was one of ecclesiastical confusion, and [[Church Calendar|Old Calendarism]] ''per se'' could be seen in some cases as a side effect of the parish remaining independent rather than as a purely idealogical position.<br />
<br />
== Establishment ==<br />
<br />
In 1951, [[Archimandrite]] [[Petros (Astyfides)]] arrived in New York at the invitation of [[Arsenios Saltas]], whom he understood to be the Greek Old Calendarist [[bishop]] of America. Soon learning that this was not the case, Archimandrite Petros resolved to return to Greece. However, a number of Greek Old Calendarist families in Queens persuaded him to begin services for them, and by 1954 [[Saint Markella's Cathedral]] was established.<br />
<br />
Archimandrite Petros began to gather various independent parishes until a diocese was formed. During this time, he was under the [[Metropolia]] and then the [[ROCOR]]. Two ROCOR bishops, [http://www.russianorthodoxchurch.ws/synod/engdocuments/enart_archbpseraphimmemory15yrs.html| Seraphim (Svezhevsky) of Caracas] and [http://www.rocorstudies.org/church-people/archbishop-leontii/2010/06/09/on-the-pastoral-activity-of-archbishop-leontii-of-chile| Leonty (Filippovich) of Chile], [[consecration of a bishop|consecrated]] him to the episcopacy in November 1962 as Bishop of Astoria. This consecration was initially considered irregular, as it was done in secret. However, in 1969 the ROCOR Synod ruled to recognize this act as well as the restoration of the episcopacy of the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of Greece performed earlier by ROCOR hierarchs. At this time, Bishop Petros of Astoria joined with the Synod in Greece officially.<br />
<br />
== Dispute over Grace ==<br />
<br />
In 1974, the Synod of the Greek Old Calendarist Church reiterated its belief that the [[Church Calendar|New Calendar Church]] was schismatic and devoid of grace. Metropolitan Petros was opposed to this decision and asked the ROCOR bishops what to do, since they had consecrated him, and his consecration certificate stated that he would defer to the Synod if any question arose. While this may seem a simplistic reasoning, the Metropolitan was concerned about keeping his pledge.<br />
<br />
By not signing the declaration, Metropolitan Petros was forced out of the Synod of the GOC, and as a result the [[Metropolis of North and South America]] passed first to [[Metropolitan]] [[Anthony]] and then Archimandrite [[Paisios (Loulourgas)]]. The latter was eventually consecrated a bishop in 1979 and took his [[Cathedral]] seat at [[Saint Irene Chrysovalantou Monastery]] in Queens. From this point on he was the ruling bishop of the Metropolis of America until his deposition in 1995.<br />
<br />
== Reunion in 1985 ==<br />
<br />
In 1985, Metropolitan Petros began talks with the Synod culminating in his return to the Synod. He was given a title of Metropolitan of Astoria, an irregular act given the existing jurisdiction of Metropolitan Paisios as Metropolitan of North and South America. Nevertheless, this was an attempt to find peace in the church, which lasted until Metropolitan Paisios went into schism in 1995 to join the [[Lamian Synod]], and then from it the [[Athanasian Synod]], and finally joined the [[Ecumenical Patriarchate]] in 1998. From 1995, the Metropolis of America was joined to the Metropolis of Astoria until the election and consecration of Metropolitan Pavlos (Stratigeas) in 1998 to preside over one unified Metropolis of America.<br />
<br />
== Ascension of Metropolitan Pavlos ==<br />
<br />
In 1997, Metropolitan Petros reposed, and in 1998 his grandnephew, Archimandrite [[Pavlos (Stratigeas)]] was elected as the Metropolitan of North and South America. He was installed in March 1998. In 2000, Archimandrite [[Christodoulos]] was consecrated titular Bishop of Theopoulis to assist Metropolitan Pavlos.<br />
<br />
In February 2006, Metropolitan Pavlos suffered a stroke and was temporarily incapacitated. Archbishop Chrysostom II of Athens was appointed provisional administrator of the Holy Metropolis of America. After substantially recovering, Metropolitan Pavlos was restored as full ruling hierarch of the Holy Metropolis in 2007.<br />
<br />
In December 2013, Metropolitan Pavlos retired from his position for health reasons. In February 2014, Bishop Demetrius (Kyriakou) of Boston was elected by the Holy Synod to succeed him as Metropolitan of America and President of the Eparchial Synod of the Church of the GOC of America.<br />
<br />
== Progress toward Old Calendar Unity ==<br />
<br />
In 2011, Metropolitan Moses of Portland and Bishop [[Sergios (Black) of Loch Lomond]] from the [[Holy Orthodox Church in North America]] were received into the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America, along with several HOCNA parishes and clergy from both the United States and Canada. In 2012, Bishop Demetrios of Carlisle from the [[Holy Orthodox Church in North America]], along with many parishes and clergy, and along with over half the monastics from Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Brookline, MA, were received by the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America, with Bishop Demetrios being given the title Bishop of Boston.<br />
<br />
In 2014, after several years of negotiations, full unity was achieved between the [[Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece]] (Synod of Archbishop Kallinikos) and the [[Holy Synod in Resistance]] with the latter ceasing to exist as a separate administrative entity. This unity also established full communion between the largest factions of Old Calendarists in Greece, Romania and Bulgaria, along with the remnant Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (Synod of Metropolitan Agafangel), made up of those who refused to reunite with the Moscow Patriarchate in 2007.<br />
<br />
== Diocesan and Parish Organization ==<br />
<br />
In 2002, the [[Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece|Holy Synod of Greece]] granted the Metropolis of America the status of a semi-autonomous eparchy, which included the establishment of an Eparchial Synod along with a local Ecclesiastical Tribunal. The Eparchy of America is comprised of two Metropoleis (America and Toronto) and two Dioceses (Boston, and Etna and Portland), whose ruling hierarchs are suffragans of the Metropolitan of America based in New York City. Currently there are 46 parishes and missions and 10 monastic communities in the United States and Canada.<br />

<br />
The '''Holy Orthodox Church in North America''' (or "HOCNA"; also known as "the Panteleimonites") is an [[Old Calendarists|Old Calendarist]] jurisdiction, headquartered at [[Holy Transfiguration Monastery (Brookline, Massachusetts)]], initially formed by former members of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]] who joined the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]] in the 1960's in protest of the excessive ecumenical activities of Patriarch [[Athenagoras I (Spyrou) of Constantinople]] and Archbishop [[Iakovos (Coucouzis) of America]]. Following the suspension of the abbot and founder of Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Archimandrite Panteleimon (Metropoulos), by the ROCOR in December, 1986, for multiple accusations of sexual immorality, the monastery and its supporting communities left the ROCOR and following a brief period under two independent Old Calendarist bishops in Greece, were received by the Old Calendarist Synod of Archbishop Auxentios of Athens. HOCNA is not in communion with any mainstream Orthodox church.<br />
<br />
==HOCNA today==<br />
The ''Holy Orthodox Church in North America'' is an Eparchial Synod with parishes and monastic communities in the United States, as well as Europe and Central America. Today HOCNA consists of five monastic communities and 13 parishes. Their monastic communities are well known world wide for their incense, hand painted icons and mounted icon photographs, pure beeswax candles, vestments and clerical clothing. Also, since the founding of Holy Transfiguration Monastery, the brotherhood has dedicated themselves to producing translations of texts necessary for Orthodox Church life. Many books of the lives of the Saints and concerning matters of the Faith have been published. Especially, out of desire to benefit the Church, liturgical books of primary importance have been translated into English and published by Holy Transfiguration Monastery: ''A Prayerbook for Orthodox Christians'', ''The [[Pentecostarion]]'', ''The Great [[Horologion]]'', the complete 12-volume set of The [[Menaion]] and ''The [[Psalter]] According to the Seventy''. Some patristic works have also been translated and published, most notably ''The [[Ladder of Divine Ascent]]'', ''The Ascetical Homilies of Saint [[Isaac the Syrian]]'', and ''The [[Synodicon of Orthodoxy]]''. HOCNA has published ''The Struggle Against Ecumenism'', the most extensive history of the "True Orthodox Church" available in English[http://www.homb.org/Sword.htm] and also has published a series of [http://homb.org/PUBs07-23-05.pdf tracts] on the spiritual life, contemporary Church issues, and moral issues.<br />
<br />
===Hierarchs, Metropolises and Parishes===<br />
Today, HOCNA consists of Holy Transfiguration Monastery and an estimated 13 parishes throughout the United States, the most famous of which is St Nektarios American Orthodox Cathedral in Seattle, Washington[http://www.stnectariospress.com/]. Administratively, HOCNA is divided into 3 metropolises - Boston, Seattle, and Toronto. HOCNA currently has four hierarchs. With the exception of Gregory, all were monks at Holy Transfiguration Monastery for ten years or more.<br />
<br />
* Gregory, Metropolitan of Boston, President of the Holy Synod<br />
* Makarios, Metropolitan of Toronto<br />
* Ignatius, Metropolitan of Seattle<br />
* Andrew, auxiliary Bishop of Markham<br />
* Chrysostomos, auxiliary Bishop of Lanham<br />
* Ephraim, retired Metropolitan of Boston<br />
<br />
In 2011, after several years of controversy over the autonomous canonical status of HOCNA and the relatively recent controversy regarding the posthumous salvation of non-Orthodox taught by Metropolitan Ephraim and Archimandrite Panteleimon, the entire Metropolis of Portland (along with its bishops, Metropolitan Moses and his suffragan Bishop Sergius) and all the parishes of the Metropolis of Toronto were received by the [[Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America]]. Other clergy, including the dean of clergy of the Metropolis of Boston and rector of Holy Nativity Convent, also joined the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America along with the above clergy and bishops.<ref>Fr. Panagiotes Carras. ''[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OrthodoxInfo/message/862 An Announcement].'' YAHOO! Groups - OrthodoxInfo. Fri Jun 3, 2011 2:35am.</ref><br />
<br />
In 2012, after continuing disputes involving accusations of heresy against Metropolitan Ephraim and Archimandrite Panteleimon, and further revelations regarding the sexual abuse allegations against Archimandrite Panteleimon, a majority of parishes, Bishop Demetrios of Carlisle, and 17 monks of Holy Transfiguration Monastery leave HOCNA for the Genuine Greek Orthodox Church of America under Metropolitan Pavlos. ''[http://nftu.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Chronology-Of-Name-worshipping-In-HOCNA.pdf]]"<br />
<br />
On March 21, 2013, it was [https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzJKrDVZPwcvMWgxQ0MweHN2dTg/edit?pli=1 announced] that what remained of the Holy Orthodox Church in North America had entered into communion with the True Orthodox Church of Greece (Synod of Archbishop Makarios of Athens) as a "Sister Church".<br />

==Early life and education==<br />
Metropolitan Anthony was born Alexei Pavlovich Khrapovitsky on [[March 17]], 1863, in Vatagino village of Kresteski district of Novgorod province, Russia. His parents were members of the Russian nobility. He was educated at St Petersburg, Russia, where he finished the 5th Classical Gymnasia with a gold medal. He owes the beginnings of his religious education to his mother and the influence of [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]], the reading of [[Church Fathers]] and the [[hagiography|Lives of Saints]] as well as interest in the ideas of the [[slavophile]] movement. In his young years, he was interested by the work of V. S. [[Solovyev]], whom he later criticized for pro-[[Roman Catholic]] leanings. A final important influence was meeting St [[Nicholas of Japan|Nicholas]], the [[enlightener]] of Japan.<br />
<br />
In 1881, despite the opposition of his father, Alexei enrolled in the St Petersburg Theological Academy, where he became friends with M. M. Gribanovsky, the future [[Bishop]] of Tauria, who was the first of the academy students to become a [[monasticism|monastic]] after a 20-year hiatus in [[tonsure|tonsurings]]. This friendship strengthened Alexei's desire to serve the Church as a learned [[monk]]. In his third year, he worked on his master's dissertation "Psychological data in favour of free will and moral responsibility" with the oversight of A. Ye. Svetilin.<br />
<br />
Before graduating, Alexei was tonsured on [[May 18]], 1885, with the name of Anthony. That same year, he finished at the Academy and received his diploma. On [[June 12]], he was [[ordination|ordained]] [[hierodeacon]] and on [[September 29]], [[hieromonk]]. He then remained at the Academy as part of the teaching staff. In 1886-1887, he was appointed to teach homiletics, [[liturgics]], and [[canon law]] at the Kholm Theological Seminary. In 1887-1889, Hieromonk Anthony was an instructor at the Academy in the department of [[Old Testament]] Studies and beginning in 1889 served as the Academy's inspector. A result of this work was his 1890 book "An Exegesis of the Book of the Prophet Micah."<br />
<br />
In 1888, as a result of reworking his dissertation, Hieromonk Anthony was awarded the degree of Master of Theology. In 1888 and 1889, he taught a course on introduction to theological sciences. At around the same time, he became friends with St [[John of Kronstadt]]. In 1890, he was appointed as [[rector]] of the St Petersburg Theological Academy and raised to the rank of [[archimandrite]]. In 1891, he was appointed rector of the [[Moscow Theological Academy and Seminary|Moscow Theological Academy]]. This time marked his blossoming as a theologian, with the publication of his work "The moral idea of the [[dogma]] of the Holy Trinity" (report at the festivities marking the 500th anniversary of the repose of St [[Sergius of Radonezh]]). In 1893-1894, Archimandrite Anthony became friends with Archimandrite [[Sergius I (Stragorodsky) of Moscow|Sergius (Stragorodsky)]], the future Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia. Archimandrite Anthony persuaded Archimandrite Sergius to publish his master's dissertation, "The Orthodox Teaching on Salvation." He also met L. N. Tolstoy, whom he frequently attempted to bring back into the Church by critiquing his religious and philosophical ideas.<br />
<br />
His position on supporting monastic tonsure for academy graduates put Archimandrite Anthony into conflict with Metropolitan Sergius (Lyapidevsky) of Moscow. The conflict resulted in Archimandrite Anthony's transfer to the post of rector of the [[Kazan Theological Academy]] in 1895. <br />
<br />
==Episcopacy==<br />
On [[September 7]], 1897, Archimandrite Anthony was [[consecration of a bishop|consecrated]] Bishop of Cheboksary, [[auxiliary bishop|vicar]] of the Kazan [[diocese]] (since [[March 1]], 1899, Bishop of Chistopol', first vicar of the Kazan diocese). On [[July 14]], 1900, he was transferred to Ufa and became Bishop of Ufa and Menzelinsk. Because many residents of the Ufa province were [[Islam|Muslim]], Bishop Anthony worked on [[missionary]] efforts in his diocese.<br />
<br />
On [[April 22]], 1902, Bishop Anthony was appointed to the Volyn and Zhytomyr [[cathedra]], the largest diocese of the Russian Church at that time. The new energetic bishop worked to restore canonical order in the diocese, ending simony and bribery, promoting liturgical order and love toward the flock.<br />
<br />
In 1907, Bishop Anthony headed a committee examining the [[Kiev Theological Academy]]. The committee's findings were unpopular with academy staff, leading to Bishop Anthony's publication of "The Truth about the Kiev Theological Academy" and the resignation of its rector, Bishop [[Platon (Rozhdestvensky) of New York|Platon (Rozhdestvesky)]], the future head of the [[Orthodox Church in America|American Metropolia]]. Many believe that this incident led to the subsequent antagonism among the emigré bishops, which resulted in the [[ROCOR and OCA|split]] between the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]] (ROCOR) and the [[Orthodox Church in America]] (OCA).<br />
<br />
In 1906-1907, Bishop Anthony was member of the State Council and in 1912-1916 of the [[Holy Synod]]. He worked on the preparation for a Local Council of the Russian Church; he responded to the 1905 questionnaire of Russian bishops by calling for the restoration of the patriarchy and the reform of theological education and other reforms in Church administration. <br />
<br />
By the [[ukaz|ukase]] of the Synod on [[May 19]], 1914, Bishop Anthony was appointed to the Kharkiv and Aktyr cathedra. After the February 1917 Revolution, he was forced to ask for retirement because of poor relations with the new authorities in his area and the discontent of certain members of his [[clergy]]. On [[May 1]], 1917, he was retired and assigned to the [[Valaam Monastery]], where he wrote his book "The Doctrine of Redemption," which later caused many arguments among Orthodox theologians. In August of 1917 he was again elected Archbishop of Kharkiv and Akhtyr by the Diocesan council of Kharkiv.<br />
<br />
In 1917-1918, he was a member of the [[All-Russian Church Council of 1917-1918|Local Council of the Russian Church]], where he was a staunch supporter of restoring the patriarchy. His candidacy received the largest number of votes&mdash;159&mdash;but on [[November 5]], 1918, [[Patriarch]] St. [[Tikhon of Moscow]] was elected by lot. On [[November 28]], Archbishop Anthony was raised to the rank of metropolitan and on [[December 7]] elected a member of the Holy Synod headed by Patriarch Tikhon.<br />
<br />
In January 1918, Metropolitan Anthony was present at the All-Ukrainian Church Council in Kiev. He then fled the city before the Bolshevik invasion. Following the killing of New [[Hieromartyr]] St. [[Vladimir (Bogoyavlensky) of Kiev and Gallich|Vladimir (Bogoyavlesky) of Kiev]], Metropolitan Anthony was elected to the Kiev cathedra, and returned when the city was occupied by the Germans. However, his election was not approved by the authorities because of his opposition to Ukrainian [[autocephaly]].<br />
<br />
In December 1918, together with Archbishop Eulogius of Volyn, he was arrested by the Symon Petliura government. The two hierarchs were held at the [[Uniate]] [[monastery]] in Buchacha. In the spring of 1919, when Buchacha was taken by Polish forces, they were transferred to the vicinity of Krakow. In the summer of 1919 they were freed through the work of the French diplomatic mission. Metropolitan Anthony lived in L'viv. In September 1919, he left for Kuban, then returned to Kiev, which was held by White forces of General Denikin. After Kiev was retaken by Bolsheviks in November, he left for Yekaterinodar, where he was elected as president of the Temporary Higher Church Authority of South-East Russia. After the defeat of the Denikin army, he left for Greece, where he received the support of Archbishop [[Meletius IV (Metaxakis) of Constantinople|Meletius (Metaxakis)]] of Athens. In September 1920, he returned to Crimea, which was controlled by General Wrangel. After the latter's defeat in November, he left Russia for the last time.<br />
<br />
Between November 1920 and February 1921, Metropolitan Anthony was in [[Constantinople]]. At first he decided that the Temporary Authority should be abolished and pastoral care for displaced Russians handed over to other local churches. However, after learning of the decision of General Wrangel to retain his army for further battle with the Bolsheviks, Metropolitan Anthony decided to keep the Church organization abroad. The Temporary Authority met on [[November 19]], 1920, aboard the ship "Great Prince Alexader Mikhailovich," presided over by Metropolitan Anthony. He and Bishop [[Benjamin (Fedchenkov) of the Aleutians|Benjamin (Fedchenkov)]] were appointed to examine the canonicity of the organization. On [[December 2]], 1920, they received permission from Metropolitan Dorotheos of Prussia, [[Locum Tenens]] of the [[Ecumenical Patriarchate]], to establish "for the purpose of the service of the population ... and to oversee the ecclesiastic life of Russian colonies in Orthodox countries a temporary committee (epitropia) under the authority of the Ecumenical Patriarchate"; the committee was called the Temporary Higher Church Administration Abroad (THCAA). In February 1921, at the invitation of [[Patriarch]] Dimitry of Serbia, the THCAA relocated to Serbia, where, on [[August 31]], 1921, the Council of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church decided to take the organization under its protection as an independent jurisdiction for displaced Russians.<br />
<br />
With the agreement of Patriarch Dimitry, the "General assembly of representatives of the Russian Church abroad" took place between [[November 21]] and December 2, 1921, in Sremsky Karlovtsi, Serbia. It was later renamed the [[First All-Diaspora Council]] and was presided over by Metropolitan Anthony. The Council established the "Supreme Ecclesiastic Administration Abroad" (SEAA), composed of a patriarchal Locum Tenens, a Synod of Bishops, and a Church Council. The Council decided to appoint Metropolitan Anthony the Locum Tenens, but he declined to accept the position without permission from Moscow and instead called himself the President of the SEAA. However, an Ukase of Patriarch St. Tikhon of Moscow, dated [[May 5]], 1922, abolished the SEAA and declared the political decisions of the Karlovtsy Council as not reflecting the postion of the Russian Church. Meeting in Sremsky Karlovtsy on [[September 2]], 1922, the Council of Bishops agreed to abolish the SEAA, in its place forming the Temporary Holy Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia with Metropolitan Anthony as its head by virtue of seniority. The Synod exercised direct authority over Russian [[parish]]es in the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Far East. In North America, however, a conflict erupted with those who did not recognize the authority of the Synod, led by Metropolitan [[Platon (Rozhdestvensky) of New York|Platon (Rozhdestvensky)]]; this group formed the American Metropolia, the predecessor to the OCA. Likewise, in Western Europe, Metropolitan [[Eulogius (Georgievsky) of Paris|Eulogius (Georgievsky)]] also did not recognize anything more than "a moral authority" of the Synod. Metropolitan Eulogius later broke off and joined the Ecumenical Patriarchate, forming the [[Patriarchal Exarchate for Orthodox Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe]], known colloquially as the ''Rue Daru''.<br />
<br />
In 1925, at the invitation of Randell Davidson, [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], Metropolitan Anthony participated in festivities in London marking the 1600th anniversary of the [[First Ecumenical Council]]. In October of 1925, at the invitation of Romanian hierarchs, he participated in the enthronement of Patriarch [[Miron (Cristea) of Romania]].<br />
<br />
Metropolitan Anthony presided over another meeting of the Council of Bishops of ROCOR in June 1926. The bishops decided to accept Metropolitan [[Peter (Polyansky) of Krutitsa]] as the lawful Locum Tenens following the repose of St. Tikhon. The Council once again called for Metropolitans Platon and Eulogius to accept its [[jurisdiction]]. <br />
<br />
On [[September 9]], 1927, the Council of Bishops of the ROCOR, presided over by Metropolitan Anthony, decreed a break of communion with ecclesiastic authorities in Moscow after categorically rejecting a demand by Metropolitan Sergius (Stragorodsky) of Nizhny Novgorod, who was acting as Locum Tenens, to declare loyalty to the Soviet authorities. Metropolitan Sergius responded in 1928 by decreeing that Metropolitan Eulogius had canonical authority in Western Europe and that all actions of the Karlovtsy Synod were uncanonical. Then, on [[June 22]], 1934, Metropolitan Sergius and his Synod passed judgment on Metropolitan Anthony and his Synod, declaring them to be under [[suspension]]. Metropolitan Anthony refused to recognize this decision, claiming that it was made under political pressure from Soviet authorities and that Metropolitan Sergius had illegally usurped the position of Locum Tenens. In this, he received the support of the Patriarch [[Varnava (Rosic) of Serbia|Varnava of Serbia]], who continued to maintain communion with the ROCOR Synod. <br />
<br />
During the course of his time abroad, Metropolitan Anthony continued to retain the title of Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia, an action recognized by Metropolitan Peter (Polyansky) of Krutitsa, who refused pressure from Soviet authorities to fill the vacant Kiev cathedra. In March 1931, the Synod of Bishops awarded him the title of "Beatitude." In August 1932, Metropolitan Anthony proposed the election of a deputy president. The Bishops elected Archbishop [[Anastasy (Gribanovsky) of Kishinev]], who was elevated to the rank of metropolitan in 1935. In 1935, the Council of Bishops of ROCOR, under the leadership of Metropolitan Anthony, condemned as heretical the teaching of Archpriest [[Sergius Bulgakov]] about Sophia, the [[Holy Wisdom|Wisdom]] of God. This furthered the antagonism between ROCOR and the Western European Exarchate, where Father Sergius worked at the [[St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute (Paris, France)]].<br />
<br />
Metropolitan Anthony reposed on [[August 10]], 1936, in Sremsky Karlovtsi, Serbia, and was buried in Belgrade at the Iveron Chapel in the Russian cemetery. Patriarch Varnava officiated at the [[Divine Liturgy]], Panikhida and burial services.<br />
<br />
== Theological views ==<br />
Metropolitan Anthony was a remarkable writer, author of many works in apologetics, dogmatic, pastoral and moral theology, hermeneutics, canon law and other disciplines. His ecclesiological opinions were influenced by A. S. [[Alexei Stepanovich Khomiakov|Khomiakov]]; from Khomiakov's view of the dogma of One Church, Metropolitan Anthony concluded that all [[heterodox]] churches were not part of the Church. He allowed the reception of converts through [[confession]] and [[chrismation]] strictly on the grounds of [[economy]]. Yet he taught that Orthodox bishops could receive Anglican clergy of that time merely by [[penance]] [http://westernorthodox.blogspot.com/2007/01/why-anglicans-could-have-been-received.html "in existing orders."]<br />
<br />
He was opposed to Latin influence on the Church, and felt the Greater and Lesser Catechisms of the seventeenth century are "only by a misapprehension are called Orthodox."<br />
<br />
In his [[soteriology|sotereological]] conceptions, Metropolitan Anthony held that Orthodox dogmatic views must be entirely rid of the idea of [[substitutional atonement]] of [[Anselm of Canterbury]], which was popular in theological schools. Metropolitan Anthony wrote:<br />
<br />
:We must think that during that night at [[Gethsemane]], the thoughts and feelings of the Godman encompassed all fallen men in their many billions, and wept with loving grief for all of them individually, which, of course, was only possible to the Divine, all-knowing heart. This was our atonement ... We are sure that the terrible sufferings of the Saviour at Gethsemane took place while beholding the sinful life and sinful nature of all human generations and that the words of the Lord "Let this cup pass from me" are not pointed to his upcoming [[Crucifixion]] and death, but to this, completely depressing to Him, feeling of profound grief for the sinful human race so beloved by Him.<br />
<br />
Thus Metropolitan Anthony considered not [[Golgotha]], but the sufferings in Gethsemane, as central to the Savior's feat of redemption. The bodily sufferings and death on the Cross were necessary so that the faithful would acknowledge the degree of His suffering. This view received criticism from some theologians, including [[John Meyendorff]] and [[Georges Florovsky]], with some going as far as to accuse Metropolitan Anthony of [[Pelagianism]]. Metropolitan Anthony wrote these views in prison, and when they were criticized, he withdrew them. [http://www.orthodoxengland.org.uk/qa3.htm] It is important to note that Metropolitan Anthony did not pioneer this theological view: it appeared in Russian theology in the 19th century as an attempt to counteract Anselmian atonement. Later theologians claimed that Metropolitan Anthony's views were completely Orthodox, but that the way in which he expressed them led [http://thoughtsintrusive.wordpress.com/2014/11/13/fr-seraphim-rose-and-the-dogma-of-redemption/ "some"] to misinterpret his teaching.<br />

<hr />
<div>His Eminence [[Metropolitan]] '''Hierotheos (Vlachos) of Nafpaktos''' and Agios Vlasios (also ''Ierotheos'') serves the [[Metropolis of Nafpaktos|Metropolis of Nafpaktos and Agios Vlasios]] in the [[Church of Greece]]. He has been Metropolitan of Nafpaktos since 1995.<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
He was born Georgios S. Vlachos in Ioannina, Epirus, Greece, in 1945 and graduated from the theological school of the University of Thessaloniki. He was [[ordination|ordained]] a [[deacon]] in 1971, taking the monastic name Hierotheos, followed by his ordination as a [[priest]] in 1972. He served at the [[Archbishop]]'s House of Offices in Athens, as a preacher and Youth Director. He was [[consecration of a bishop|consecrated]] [[bishop]] on [[July 20]], 1995, and elected Metropolitan of Nafpaktos and St. Vlasios in the same year.<br />
<br />
He taught Greek for several semesters and gave lectures on Orthodox [[ethics]] to the students of the [[St. John of Damascus Institute of Theology (Tripoli, Lebanon)|St. John of Damascus Theological School]] at the University of the Patriarchate of Antioch, in northern Lebanon.<br />
<br />
Already in his youth he was particularly interested in the [[:Church Fathers|Fathers of the Church]], working for a time in the [[monastery]] libraries of [[Mount Athos]], on the recording of the codices. He was especially interested in the teaching of St. [[Gregory Palamas]].<br />
<br />
The influence of Fr. John Romanidis, the study of the patristic texts and particularly those of the [[hesychast]] Fathers of the ''[[Philokalia]]'', many years of studying St. Gregory Palamas, association with the [[monk]]s of the Holy Mountain ([[Mount Athos]]), and many years of pastoral experience, all brought him to the realisation that Orthodox [[theology]] is a science of the healing of man and that the [[nepsis|neptic]] fathers can help the modern restless man who is disturbed by many internal and existential problems.<br />
<br />
Within this framework he has written a multitude of books, the fruit of his pastoral work, among which is ''Orthodox Psychotherapy''. Some of these books have been translated into various languages, such as English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. With these books he conveys the Orthodox spirit of the ''Philokalia'' to the restless and disturbed man of our time. This is why they have aroused so much interest.<br />

<div>[[File:John-romanides.jpg|right|thumb|px225|Rev. Prof. John S. Romanides]]<br />
Father '''John Savvas Romanides''' (1927 - 2001) was a prominent 20th century Orthodox Christian [[priest]], [[theologian]], and writer. Fr. Romanides served under the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]] and the [[Church of Greece]].<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
Protopresbyter John S. Romanides was [[ordination|ordained]] in 1951 while studying at Yale University Divinity School, and served at Holy Trinity Church in Waterbury, Connecticut, from 1951 till 1954. After finishing his studies at Yale he was transferred for the summer of 1954 to Holy Trinity Cathedral in New York City until he left for studies at [[St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute (Paris, France)|St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute]] in Paris (1954-55). He did his doctoral work at the University of Athens from 1956 to 1957. His dissertation, ''[[The Ancestral Sin]]'', was accepted and published in 1957, but over the objections of faculty members [[Panagiotes N. Trembelas|Panagiotes Trembelas]] and P. I. Bratsiotis. Although the dissertation focused on original sin, [[Christos Yannaras]] writes, "Romanides succeeded in summarizing the whole of Orthodox [[dogma]], emphasizing the deep gulf separating it from the intellectualist and juridical expressions of Western dogma".<ref>Christos Yannaras, ''Orthodoxy and the West'', p. 276 (ISBN 978-1885652812)</ref><br />
<br />
He was appointed professor at [[Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology (Brookline, Massachusetts)|Holy Cross]], Brookline, Massachusetts, where he taught between 1957 and 1965 while continuing his studies and research at the Harvard Divinity School and then at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. All this time, between 1957 to 1968, he was also a [[parish]] priest. He was appointed to the parish of Newport, New Hampshire, in 1958. Then in 1959 he was appointed the first priest of St. Athanasios the Great Orthodox Church in Arlington, Massachusetts, which he helped found and organize. He resigned from Holy Cross in 1965 in protest over the removal of Father [[Georges Florovsky]] from the faculty by [[Archbishop]] [[Iakovos (Coucouzis) of America|Iakovos]]. He was professor of [[dogmatics]] at the University of Thessaloniki from 1970 until his resignation in 1982. From 1970 on, he also taught at the University of Balamand in Lebanon. He continued to teach even after his retirement. Between 1965 and 1968 Father Romanides served as the pastor of Holy Apostles' Parish in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Protopresbyter John Romanides petitioned Metropolitan [[Hierotheos (Vlachos) of Nafpaktos]], on April 13th, 1998, to be transferred to the Holy Metropolis of Nafpaktos and St. Vlassios. Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos petitioned Archbishop Spyridon of America, on June 17, 1998, for the canonical discharge of Fr. Romanides from the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America]], in order to be added to the Clergy of the Holy Metropolis of Nafpaktos and St. Vlassios. The request was granted on October 8, 1998. Thus, from October of 1998 until the day of his death, 1st November 2001, he belonged to the Clergy of the Holy Metropolis of Nafpaktos and St. Vlassios. He reposed in Athens on [[November 1]], 2001. <br />
<br />
He also represented the [[Church of Greece]] as member of the Central Committee of the [[World Council of Churches]] and in the dialogues with the Lutherans and the Oriental Orthodox.<br />
<br />
His legacy lives on through his more then 2,000 students, including many priests, [[monk]]s, and at least 10 bishops.<br />
<br />
== Works ==<br />
Romanides argued for the existence of a "national, cultural and even linguistic unity between Eastern and Western Romans" that exisited until the intrusion and takeover of the West Romans (the [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]]) by the Franks and or Goths (German tribes).<br />
